CPWC Day 5 - Using Maps & Themes of Geography

Objectives:  Review reading notes to check for understanding.  Compare and contrast types of map projections.  Analyze uses of map projections.

Task:  As you come into class please pick up the "course overview" and "Strategic Reading" hand-outs from the front of the room.  Take the first few minutes to organize your notebook.

• Put the 8 dividers into your notebook
• In FRONT of the FIRST divider, attach "Classroom Rules & Regulations," "Course Overview," and "Strategic Reading."
• BEHIND the FIRST divider (unit 1), attach the papers we've completed for unit 1:
• Human Bingo 
• "Dreaming Upside Down"
• "Lines of Latitude & Longitude"
• "Reading Latitude & Longitude"
• Cultural Regions Map
• Foundations Investigation
• Chapter 1 Reading Notes

As you organize your binder,  we'll check for homework completion.  Then, we'll spend some time reviewing your chapter 1 reading notes in preparation for tomorrow's quiz.  We'll also discuss "Dreaming Upside Down."  Next, we'll finish labeling and coloring the cultural regions map.  Finally, you'll use the remainder of class to work on your "Foundations Investigation."
